I thought it was a Sense issue, I flashed the latest CM10.1 Nightly, and that seems to have made it slightly better, but it still drops the connection. It now connects in a reasonable amount of time, but will disconnect randomly after a few minutes.

This wasn't a problem with the connection between the stereo and my old Nexus S (both stock, and CM9-10-10.1), or between my stock One and the stereo of a Chrysler 300.

This belief is part of the problem. Just because Unions and tenure exists doesn't mean everyone is abusing it. As with everything else, some bad examples ruin it for everyone else.

Tenure is what allows teachers to discuss harsh topics and really interact with students. One of the best teachers I had in high school was a fresh kid just out of graduate school. He was paranoid about being fired until he made tenure, and it impacted the way that he taught the class. After he was tenured, a wide variety of new material was open and the classes he was teaching were all the better for it.

Tenure is not the problem. Attitude is, and this is a problem both with the teachers and especially with the students. Education in America doesn't suck because we have too many tenured bad teachers hiding behind a Union, it sucks because we, as a nation, no longer value knowledge and education.

It's certainly not going to encourage me to visit downtown more often - I can't imagine downtown businesses are particularly happy about it. Meanwhile, they waste $100k on adding a stoplight by the Chocolate Moose, because it was just so hard to walk half a block either direction and cross there.

I guess the whole point of the thing is that the parking garages weren't paying for themselves, so they figured the best way to handle it was to try to force people into the garages.

Or when people stop simply because someone is there, allowing them to cross before the light, and forcing everyone behind them to stop at an unnecessary red light? No one on that trail is in such a rush to get anywhere that traffic needs to stop to allow them to cross the street 30 seconds sooner.

The town has gone crazy with the 'yield to pedestrians in crosswalk' rules to the point that drivers will stop at crosswalks to wave patient pedestrians across. It's just stupid and dangerous, and creates the possibility for disruptions in the flow of traffic.

I wouldn't say Indiana is famous for NASCAR. North Carolina, Florida, and Alabama are more known for NASCAR due to much larger races and a longer history.

Indianapolis is better known for IndyCar racing, and the 500 has been considered the largest single-day sporting event in the world. IndyCar racing is not NASCAR, though there is probably some overlap in terms of fan-base. The NASCAR race at Indianapolis is not nearly large enough to compete with the Indy 500.

However...Indiana is known for basketball. I personally don't find it all that exciting to play or watch which definitely makes me in the minority around here, but I am in Bloomington so....

Too legit. Might have to show some ID or submit to a background check. Better to just meet some shady characters in the ruins of an American midwestern city or a sketchy backwoods cabin far from civilization.

No, I had no idea who the Borgias were prior to playing as Ezio. However, these characters felt more fleshed out and explained in the cutscenes, so I more or less knew who they were later on. AC3 just threw a lot of people in my face, many of them appeared like once to tell me what to do. "Hi Connor, this is so-and-so, do as he wishes" and I couldn't sometimes tell them apart.

The Borgias are a main villain. They are fleshed out to make killing them more rewarding.

On the other hand, the historical characters you meet along the way in the series are not treated the same way because you aren't supposed to hate them, you're just supposed to appreciate the depth of the historical information provided.

Sure, a few of the people that give Connor orders throughout AC3 are just low-level officers in the Continental Army that one would only recognize if they had a background in the American Revolution, but others are as historically important as any of the other characters throughout the series.

The historical characters you meet on the way to killing Charles Lee are similar (in terms of historical significance to their time period) to those you meet on your way to killing the Borgias.

I understand that, somewhat. I just found it confusing and I had trouble following the story. I can rationalize why that was, but it was just a fact for me and I don't remember having the same problem with the previous games.
